3D Realms, famed developer of the Duke Nukem series, has been closed. As of right now, it is unclear whether their latest project, Duke Nukem Forever (in development since 1997), will ever see the light of day. According to Take-Two, their company still owns the rights to the IP, so any publishing of Duke Nukem Forever for next-gen systems will have to be done under their label. Yesterday, Deep Silver and Apogee confirmed that portable versions of the franchise will be unaffected by the closure. This prompted many to believe that the rumors surrounding 3D Realms’ imminent closure was little more than a marketing ploy. However, 3D Realms’ Joe Siegler put the kybosh on any such hopes with his simple, cutting statement: “It’s not a marketing thing. It’s true. I have nothing further to say at this time.”
